Built for 2x6 rhythm

Pergolas look simple until the roof asks for precision—consistent spacing, clean lines, and a firm hold. The Pergola Roof Rafter Bracket (for 2x6 Wood Slats) answers with a calm, squared sleeve and pre‑drilled points that take the guesswork out of alignment. Stainless screws are included, so the plan moves from layout to shade without hunting parts.

Shade with intention

Rafters sit true, extend as far as you choose, and create that second layer that turns a frame into a living room under the sky. Whether freestanding or attached, the bracket’s 14‑gauge steel and weather‑ready finish keep the geometry steady season after season. The result is a pergola roof that feels considered, not cobbled together.

For the measured maker

Homeowners or builders who want a traditional pergola roof with 2x6 slats set neatly above existing beams.

How it’s used

Secure each bracket to the beam through the bottom holes, slide in a 2x6 slat, and fasten through the side holes to set your rafter pattern and overhang.
